    Other clubs that are referred to by their nickname more often then their real name

    Always found it interesting that people rarely use the full names for Hibs and hearts

    What other clubs does this apply to?

    (Also examples like referring to Newcastle United as Newcastle don't count )

    EDIT: Should have been more specific in my Newcastle example.

    If the word appears in the full name of the club then it doesn't count

    Therefore Hibs and Spurs are fine, but things like Villa, Rangers, Rovers etc don't count

    Wolves and Spurs were the two that sprang to mind.

    Sevco - usually referred to as "Rangers" by the media to avoid unfortunate accidents happening to their windows and car paintwork.
    Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.
